Dermatologist or Spa?

Today, many non-physicians are performing various cosmetic skin procedures in med-spas, shopping malls and walk-in clinics. While these locations may offer some convenience to consumers, the supervision of the person performing the procedure, as well as the training and equipment available to handle complications or medical emergencies, can jeopardize the health and appearance of the patient.

Choosing a dermatologist who has medical experience in skin conditions, not just cosmetic experience, is the answer.

Nobody knows your skin better than your dermatologist. At Windsor Dermatology, you'll receive the same types of cosmetic and rejuvenation procedures you would find at a med-spa, but from board-certified medical doctors with specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions. Plus, every procedure is an FDA-approved, established treatment and performed in a medical facility. 

The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery has warned consumers to be wary of med-spas claiming affiliations with “board-certified” doctors, because the certification could be in an unrelated field. The spa’s affiliated doctor may be board-certified—in gastroenterology. In other words, the spa is promoting their association with a doctor, while omitting the doctor’s irrelevant experience.

Even if your skin care need is purely aesthetic, Windsor Dermatology can provide any treatment a med-spa can—with greater expertise and the latest technologies. We work with you to develop the best treatment that is personalized to your specific skin condition, not a one-treatment-fits-all approach typical at a spa.

Let the healthy skin care providers at Windsor Dermatology help restore your skin to a healthier and younger-looking appearance. We offer a complete line of non-surgical cosmetic procedures and employ the latest techniques to leave your skin feeling and looking refreshed and rejuvenated.

Most of the cosmetic dermatology procedures we offer require only a minimum amount of time and involve little to no pain. Procedures typically only take a matter of minutes to administer, so you can visit our office for treatment over your lunch break and return to work with healthier, younger-looking skin.
